Kent C. Dodds: 0:00 It's the moment you've all been waiting for, forms. I'm so excited to talk about forms, so much fun stuff. One of the cool things about forms with React is, actually, a lot of what you do to interact with forms is just regular form API stuff from the DOM.

0:15 I want you to play around with the forms. The emoji here are going to totally help you out with this to know exactly what you need to do. In general, you're going to just alert whenever the user types in their username here. For the final version, you just say, "Hi, there. This is my username." We'll get, "Hi there," alerted to us.

0:36 You're going to be doing onSubmit handlers, you're going to need to access this input value here. Most of what you're doing is regular DOM stuff. Have fun with this. Play around with different ways of getting this input and its value. We'll see you on the other side of the exercise.

0:54 Before I let you go, don't forget the extra credits here which are also very interesting. Play around with these as well.
